Summary

Detailed demographic characteristics of the population of
the United States from 1870 to 1960 are contained in this data
collection. Included are state-level estimates of the nation's
inhabitants by sex, race, nativity and age, as well as intercensal
migration calculated by age, race, and sex. The basic information
recorded in this collection was obtained from the decennial censuses of
the United States or estimated by the principal investigators from
material collected by the decennial censuses. The collection is
comprised of thirteen separate data files. Each contains information
for every state in the nation. All parts have a rectangular file
structure with one record per case, with the number of cases ranging
from 50 to 2,891, and the record length from 203 to 2,930 per part.
Standard geographic identifying codes used in all of the files permit
the combination of two or more of the files as research interests
dictate.
